If reading that literally, I think he means for scripting command etc, like xxx moveingunner yyy, xxx assignasgunner yyy

Yep, looking for scripting command - moveingunner, etc.

It varies on all those Abrams tanks - you can use https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/allTurrets &  https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/moveInTurret in any case

Hi,

 

I am quite a noob when it comes to this.. I had a question regarding the BTR-70 and it's camo selection. In the virtual arsenal a few more camo's can be selected than there are available once you go in game and spawn a BTR-70 in Zeus (or Eden) How do I force the Omon texture that's visible in Virtual Arsenal to show on a BTR-70 in Eden/Zeus?

Thanks a lot, huge fan of RHS

I believe you can do so by right clicking on the BTR-70 in Eden and selecting "Attributes", it should be under the "Vehicle/Object Specific - BTR-70" section of the attributes panel

Lots of RHS vehicles have that Option, like BTR-60PB and BTR-80 but not the BTR-70 - however I found a work around, appreciate the help

There is bug in current 2.08 version of Arma 3 which breaks fire modes on all launchers. There might be some Arma hotfix for that soon though.

You can use "Export" button in full virtual garage - this way you will have access to all textures.

[belgerot 33]

I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before, but is there a reason the DD rails on the Mk18 are longer? (From examples I've seen, they end marked at rail no. 37 whereas in game they end at no.40)

[Blitzen88 18]

I know this has probably been asked a lot but is there a way to fix the AI’s weapon handling animation when they are given a weapon with a vertical grip via a script? They often times do not switch their grip but instead clip through the vert grip. 
 

Is there an easy fix for that?

If you're doing via script just change the class name of the weapon to the version of it with the vertical grip animation. You can easily get it by equipping the weapon you want them to have with a virtical grip yourself, open virtual arsenal, export the loadout, and in that will be the class name.

Is there a difference then between adding a weapon with a “baked in” vert grip as opposed to adding a grip via addprimaryweaponitem?

 

even if that fixes the issue, I would still like a fix because sometimes I give AI “customized” guns. 

[nicklomas 3]

Hello, not sure if it's just me but the T80 model is shorter than the T72? I thought IRL the T80 was longer than the T72 front to rear for the chassis?

Accessory scripts only run for players. Otherwise they might be checking hundreds of AI throughout the mission and cause unnecessary overhead.

Grips for AI units are done by assigning the corresponding weapon class for that handanim, as SterlingC says (the normal weapon classname with a _grip/_grip2/grip3 suffix). The grip attachment is not "baked in" to the weapon but the handanim is, so far as AI is concerned.

Is it just for me or a known bug ? Is seems Javelin top attack mode is broken...

No matter what mode I use - top dawn or standart. Javelin fly just normal mode and  hit center of target, not the top.

Tested with CBA and RHS mods.

i believe it was the last arma 3 update that is the issue.

...and the hotfix should have fixed it, so is your game up-to-date @sammael?

 

EDIT: Though having just read the changelog in the latest DevBranch patch, perhaps the full fix hasn't hit the main branch yet?

Interestingly enough, I realized that the BTR-70 from the VDV faction has access to all camo variants but none of the other BTR-70s in other factions has access to them, perhaps an oversight?

Only DevBranch patch fixed this problem

Another noob question from me: can the RuAF aviation insignias on the Mi-8/-24 be changed for some other variants? Or are they a parts of the hull textures?

[da12thMonkey 1943]

Which ones? The red stars on the fuselage or the ВВС РОССИИ titles on the tail boom?

Red stars are part of the vehicle texture. Titles use the tail_decals named selection (6th index in the hiddenSelections[] array) - AFAIK we haven't included any alternative insignia (e.g. МА ВМФ РОССИИ, ВКС РОССИИ etc.) for that so far

Red stars.

Since they are the parts of the hull texture do you have any plans to add a separate selections for them? So we could make some soviet and 90's - early 2000's variants.

[da12thMonkey 1943]

No plans to do that.

Authentic historical Mi-8/Mi-24 liveries would warrant retexturing the aircraft entirely anyway. The Mi-8/Mi-24 livery colours are modern ones (or semi-fictional ones to match another aircraft in the mod or past BI games).

AFAIK the all-green Mi-24 is the only authentic pre-2010s camo and IIRC already has the older red star. The Mi-8 MVD orange/green camo is probably the only livery where the aircraft has appeared with both kinds of star IRL.

I would not agree with it. At leasrt camo#4 scheme on both Mi-8 and Mi-24 had been used during Soviet times. All the 'soot camo' schemes on the 24s AFAIK were used on the particular helos that participated in the Second Chechen war. So they had the 'old' red-white stars.

Never seen all-green Hinds at all. Especially on the pics taken on mid-2000s and earlier. The only single color scheme known to me that had ever been adopted and used was the dark gray one, since 2010s. Could you bring any pics of all-green Hinds here? That would be interesting to look at.

[da12thMonkey 1943]

In general, all the Hind and Hip camos draw from modern Mi-35M and Mi-8MTV-5/Mi-8AMTSh references as those were the "2014" scope envisaged for the mod, but models themselves are lacking such modernisation. Soviet era stuff wasn't so much within scope until more recent years of development.

The camo4 is based on a modern Mi-8MTV-5. I've not seen the beige/gray shades used on Soviet era aircraft - closest I've seen is a beige/olive used around the Afghan war period. But fair enough it seems the Mi-8MTV-5 was in the midst of the transition to blue-edged stars and standardisation on the dark grey or modern green/tan/blue camo, and this scheme had an older red star. It's a similar situation with the orange/green MVD helos I mentioned before.

Soot patterns are indeed inspired by aircraft from the Chechen war, but they're applied on the colourway of modern Russian helicopters rather than Chechen-war period ones.

Green hinds were from a regiment that was equipped with Mi-24Ps in the 2010s IIRC, but I can't find the reference.

[Luke_z_Brna 958]

Hello,

 

I would like to ask you, if there are any ambitions of improving Mi-8 MTSh variant, at Russian VVS, in the aspects of the nose part and also the rear. Because the rear part is supposed to be a ramp for loading and unloading material (air-drop) or vehicles (like quad-bike). 
 

Thanks
